I guess I forget to check in at Hy-Vee because we come in here often. Back in the old days like 8…read moremonths ago we used to go to Springfield to see a movie at the Alamo a few times a month (the best theater in many miles but thats another review) and then we would got to Hy-Vee for groceries. Hy-Vee is in a whole different class than our grocery stores, not a Whole Foods but most of the positive qualities and some of the negatives too. Yes there are a lot of people walking the Islas being pretentious and turning up their noses and people they consider beneath them or because they don't wear the right fashions or are buying the wrong kind of free range tuna. Thats the Whole Foods experience that we don't miss and we find amusing at Hy-Vee. But most people are just there to get groceries. Now the good stuff Service is always great, they have baggesr! They are not very good and they are not trained in how to bag properly but hey they got em! Hint, cans do not go on top of bananas, gallons of milk do not go on top of bread etc. The selection is great, they have a great section of the new age, gluten free, free range stuff and we like a lot of it. They have pharmacy items and brands you can't get in Joplin. They carry more flavors and versions of food items that I can find anywhere we have lived in the US but are unavailable in Joplin because of the Walmart monopoly. They excel at the meat counter, deli, bakery, and cheeses from around the world. Sadly the only areas we are consistently disappointed in is the produce. They have lots of choices and a large selection of the supposed natural stuff but the produce and fruits are over priced, often in bad shape and of low quality yet at a higher price than anyone else. We tend to buy our produce in Joplin, at Sam's or Walmart Express and the farmers market. But for anything else, Hy-Vee has more choices, better quality and lots of natural, health-focused and free range foods. Its worth the drive.

I've spoken to management and on one account had to have a refund...this is exhausting and i as the customer should not have to specify in the notes for my order to "be picky with produce and careful bagging"....that should just be the default.

We especially love the Amish / Mennonite stands that there seem to be more of. Everyone there seem to be friendly and helpful. The prices are nice as well. We've been going almost every weekend, and have yet to leave without bags full of fruits, vegetables, baked good, frozen meats, and jams or honey. We look forward to going again this coming weekend. If I absolutely, positively had to make a complaint, it would be that some vendors seem to leave pretty early, so you gotta get there early enough to catch all the vendors. Other than that, it's probably thee best farmer's market in town.

I trust them in that I know I can go here to purchase food that is real from nature. Sometimes it's good to eat a lot of what comes from a plant instead of a bunch of stuff made in a plant. The vitamin and supplements aisle seems well researched and plentiful. I'm pretty sure the supplement that you are looking for will be here. And they have high quality hand creams and moisturizers. Dark chocolate candy in so many varieties. The employees are always friendly, on Chick-fil-A level courteousness. When you ask for help locating a certain item they will stop what they're doing and actually walk you right to it. And they have a reward program to take advantage of as well. Thank you Natural Grocers for what you're providing!

Caveat: the dough is essentially all the same consistency and there is no appreciable difference between the French, Italian, wheat, rye, etc., except for what they add to the dough which is why it doesn't get 5 stars. Stay away from the rolls and baguettes, the crusts are not crunchy at all. Having said that, this bread makes ABSOLUTELY the BEST toast you have ever eaten. Crunchy on the outside and still soft in the center. We cut our own slices, but their cutting machine doesn't waste any bread, the slices are very precise. If you want hearty bread to slather on butter and jam, this is where you want to go. We also give loaves as gifts, it's a can't miss.
